A no spoiler tv pace thread please.

A pestilence of mammoth proportions in the shape of toothy pubic lice for those who escape from the twat field and may any unsocked feet sweat enough to give you bulbous blisters….

Waiting for clips - only info is ‘coming soon’….

Excellent! Blush.

I've felt a real gap in my life since the end of Love Island.

I love how much I hate the contestants, the icksperts, the whole format, everything. Will there ever be a more cringe coupling than Gemma and Matt from last year.

There was Kwame and Kasia too. Very odd couple, well he was odd!

Marking love this show

He took her to a bench instead of his house!

I document things but I don’t write much other than that.

I do however try very hard to slip an Alan Partridge comment into various conversations. For my own amusement mainly.

I haven’t had an opportunity to slide ‘Lynn these are sex people’ into anything. Yet.

Mainly because there isn’t anyone called Lynn but also because I can’t go flinging accusations of sex peoplery without getting my jotters.

Maybe one day.

Am excited awaiting the new series and killing time before then on Netflix's "The Ultimatum" which definitely has MAFS vibes, but isn't as good.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 04/09/2023 11:44

I don’t have Netflix 😖😫

I don’t know whether I should watch some Mafs repeats or binge celebs go dating while I’m waiting patiently…

But after reading some comments about the behaviour of some of the participants on CGD, I’m going to be disappointed and pissed off and fuller of irk before I even get to MAFS.

@rainbowzebrawarrior did you have a look? Is it worth a look? 🤔

@SheldonesqueTheBstard Oh Sheldy my love, I fear you may be a tad disappointed with Vanessa if you indulge in the CGD rollercoaster. That said, I always find it quite an interesting watch from a human nature perspective. There are a lot of damaged souls in the world, but as ever we hope that love is festooned upon them and cocoons them like a favourite winter scarf.

I'm in it for the long haul now, as I had to watch something to save me from the head fuck that is Manifest.

It's that funny time of year. A brief drought before the abundance of autumn delights begins in earnest on the old telly box.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 04/09/2023 15:13

Eeeeh dearest Bow, I’m sad that there seems to be an element of truth to what I’ve read. I have loved her since her protest on sleb big bro and was so hoping she’d find a potential beau.

I don’t know if I dare watch but confess I just might. If I can find enough hours in the day!

Just putting this out here. Although it isn’t anything to do with MAFS or CGD.

Whatever happens to Baby Jane is on next Monday night. Late on bbc2 I think.

That film is a bloody triumph. 🤩.

And aye to autumn telly. Bring it on! The nights are fair drawin’ in …

I have started watching a little CGD recently as a warm up to MAFS - there are a lot of walls up in certain quarters and a somewhat familiar adherence to a spurious and ill-articulated checklist. Little hope of happy ever afters as far as I can tell.

TBF, sounds a lot like my approach to romance… 😂

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 04/09/2023 17:47

@Sunbird24 I have never watched CGD before this one but am enjoying it immensely- agreed re some of the similar expectations!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 04/09/2023 18:07

Now you are all reeling me in.

Oh. A Geordie Shore contestant. FS. They love to pick folk from NE England that fit with the stereotype. Heaven forbid there are some quiet and reserved Geordies among us. Best get me noise cancelling headphones ready.

Actually, yeah that's how I might watch it this year. Sound off and subtitles on

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/09/2023 09:29

Aye Bow

Even subtitles off. We could dub it ourselves in the style of Eastern European films of the 70s.

I can see a few people I'll be rooting for and a few that will irk me the whole way through already.

I've been surprised at their success rate since they changed the format, but I think they might throw a couple of couples who have a chance in with the others just to provide a bit of variety.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/09/2023 14:25

On first sniff I smell cherchez la quinze minutes of fame.

A trans contestant. Will be interesting to see how that works out.

Nogaxeh · 05/09/2023 16:19

I'm hopeful. The gay couples they've had so far have all had pretty normal relationship issues and they haven't done something like try to find a homophobic fellow contestant to create excessively exploitative drama.
